Anti-Hunting Group Lawsuit Seeks Ban on Lead-Containing Ammo
The anti-hunting Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) and six other groups last week filed a lawsuit designed to pressure the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) into banning traditional ammunition containing lead components. EPA has twice denied petitions filed by CBD to ban traditional ammunition, citing correctly that it does not have the authority to regulate ammunition under the Toxic Substances Control Act. If bullets with lead components are restricted, this would affect target shooters as well as hunters because nearly all match bullets employ a lead core.
“This is a frivolous lawsuit clear and simple,” said Lawrence G. Keane, senior vice president and general counsel for NSSF. “There is no sound science that shows the use of traditional ammunition has harmed wildlife populations or that it presents a health risk to humans who consume game taken with such ammunition.” NSSF called on industry members, hunters and shooters to support an amendment to the Farm Bill that contains legislation that would clarify the exemption.

Greetings from Polish
Doesnt lead come out of the ground? We are recycling, doing the responsible thing by giving it back to mother earth
As an Aussie, we’ve lost every argument in the firearms debate, and soon enough we wont be shooting..
I can’t urge our American brothers hard enough, fight, fight EVERY step, because every cut is one closer to the death of your sport, like its is in so many other countries, the UK and Australia being prime example
Your wins give us small hope and a little smile
I think the military will have something to say about that. And since we are part of the militia, I’m pretty sure we’ll have what the military has when it comes to small arm projectiles. And while we’re at it, can I get some depleted uranium?
